We presented our project to Data-driven design Master students at the HU in Utrecht on November 1st. The guest lecture was given as part of the Philosophy of a Digital Society course. We presented our concept, method, and the AI-generated text (with Audio this time) and a VR sketch we created to give an impression of our next step.
We also had a discussion on the topic and gave the students the opportunity to speak with us about it. We were really interested in hearing their thoughts on the gender gap in technology. The students were highly engaged and critical. It was mostly about how and why the Gender Gap existed in the first place, as well as the awareness and consciousness it has on design and society. Some of the students recognized some of the insights from the interviews. In addition, a couple of them came up with some design ideas, such as building a platform that looks at talents rather than names or gender. Another student suggested that through establishing accountability, company boards, or those in charge of management, could be more involved in providing a good work environment for all employees.

We appreciate the opportunity to talk about our project and have a fantastic conversation on how to utilize design solutions to overcome the gender gap in tech. We would like to thank Dr Dennis Nguyen for hosting the guest lecture!

Uit onlangs afgerond onderzoek blijkt dat er nog steeds wezenlijke risico’s bestaan voor de bescherming van persoonsgegevens bij het testen, vaccineren en het bron- en contactonderzoek tijdens de coronapandemie. Juist nu het aantal besmettingen en ziekenhuisopnames weer zo snel toeneemt, is het essentieel dat mensen vertrouwen hebben in de GGD en niet schromen zich te laten testen of vaccineren.

A couple weeks ago, I proudly recieved my Master of Arts degree with Merit 🎓.

During my Master Data-driven Design I took a deep dive into the data-driven world. I have gained a lot of knowledge about data-driven concepts and the role of technology. Learning the basics of machine learning and create and analyze human-machine interactions.

In addition, I gained a critical understanding of digital ethics and data literacy. Resulting in becoming even more aware of my role as a current and future designer in the data-driven world.

I am happy with my role as digital designer at Hoffelijk Groep where I can put my knowledge into practice.

Robots worden steeds meer ingezet in het onderwijs. Maar hoe stimuleer je naast leereffecten ook relatievorming met een robot, zodat kinderen langer gemotiveerd blijven om met de robot te interacteren? Met trots kan ik mededelen dat Utrecht University of Applied Sciences en Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) in samenwerking met RobotWise, smartrobot.solutions, WELBO - Welcome robots to your team en Stichting Spaarnesant een KIEM subsidie hebben ontvangen om te onderzoeken hoe we relatievorming tussen een kind en een robot in een klaslokaal kunnen stimuleren en meten, zodat we hiermee het effect van robots – en daarmee de meerwaarde voor het onderwijs – kunnen vergroten. 

Het project moet leiden tot een concreet en praktisch overzicht aan potentiële relatievormingsfactoren en meetinstrumenten voor de industrie en het onderwijs. Partners: Matthijs Smakman, Mike Ligthart, Lisette Van Der Poel, Roeland van Oers, Tamar Neter-Gans, Rian Dings, Tamara Koopmans-Samson

LEVEL UP 🚀.

I am so glad to have found my place at MHP – A Porsche Company and even more so, that my journey here reaches a new level: As of the beginning of this week, I am a very proud part-time Junior Professional in Employer Branding 💙.

I’m super grateful to be surrounded by the wonderful Talent Acquisition & #OneTeam but especially the coolest Employer Branding crew you can imagine. Special shoutout goes to you Sarah Aigner - thank you for always having my back!

In addition to that, my theoretical learning journey is also evolving: next to working at MHP, I am pursuing a Masters Degree in Marketingmanagement at IU International University of Applied Sciences and couldn’t be more excited for the upcoming adventures!

Verbetering Data.overheid.nl - Pilots |
Het afgelopen jaar zijn we bij data.overheid achter de schermen bezig geweest met de release van de nieuwe pilots. Deze #pilots zijn vooral van belang om de data die wij beschikbaar hebben, beter #vindbaar te maken. Daarnaast zijn er ook diverse ontwikkelingen uitgevoerd die ervoor hebben gezorgd dat de website nog gebruiksvriendelijker is. Zo kun je bijvoorbeeld feedback geven op een #dataset, de lay-out van datasets is verbeterd en de formulieren om dataverzoeken en #toepassingen aan te melden zijn vernieuwd.

Dat was niet alleen een heel leuk gesprek met Ronald Voorn, Alexander Koene en Kim Cramer, maar ook een open uitnodiging naar organisaties om met ons mee te werken in onderzoek naar het bevorderen van duurzaam consumentengedrag! #HU #duurzaamheid
Zoom in BR-ND post #2: Bekijk in dit artikel het gesprek wat Kim Cramer en Alexander Koene, onze oprichters, voerden met Tijs Timmerman, PhD en Ronald Voorn van Hogeschool Utrecht over het onderzoek wat zij doen binnen hun lectoraat op het gebied van merk en maatschappij.

Ronald: “Voor mij is er eigenlijk maar één drijfveer. Ik wil dat mijn kinderen en kleinkinderen het beter krijgen dan ik. […] Daarom vind ik het heel mooi dat we als lectoraat hebben besloten onze kennis op het gebied van marketing, communicatie en customer experience zo in te zetten dat het een duurzaam doel dient”

Tijs: “Ik denk dat we in een fase zitten van bewustwording, maar dat het duurzame gedrag en nog heel erg achteraan loopt. […] Het concept ‘merk’ kan hier een relevante rol in spelen. Merken maken het leven makkelijk voor mensen, het zijn shortcuts naar beslissingen. Dus als het merk help het goede te doen, dan gaat het makkelijker”

How Netflix uses #AI and #MachineLearning to determine which thumbnails they use, and how they tailor these to your profile.

I came across this really interesting thread on Twitter, by Trung Phan. Rather than take creative assets provided by studios, Netflix has built a complex #algorithm that uses stills from media to creative optimised thumbnails for each user.

Who knew this is how Netflix thumbnails were created?

I'll leave a link to the original thread in comments

Despite the steps companies have taken to support employees and expand flexibility, burnout is still on the rise—especially among women. Companies can’t erase all of the stress and pressure of the last year and a half, but they can do more to minimize one key driver of burnout: the feeling of being “always on.” Below Lean In & McKinsey & Company recommend steps companies can take:

1. Putting clear norms and boundaries in place—for example, explicitly telling employees that they aren’t expected to respond to non-urgent requests outside of their core working hours

2. Setting the expectation that all employees will block off personal time on their calendars.

3. Leaders and managers can also help by modeling these practices and directly
encouraging their team members to take time away from work.

4. Companies also need to ensure that employees are evaluated based on the results they produce, not on when or how much they work.

The Master Data-driven Design students had their graduation ceremony last week! Congratulations to all graduates! One of the speeches was given by Marissa Berk :

After a year of being around a maximum of 10 people at a time my first reaction to hearing that I would be speaking in front of a large crowd (aside from honor and gratitude of course) was panic…. But then I thought back on this past year and I realized that if I can complete this master’s program during a global pandemic then I can do pretty much anything I set my mind to.
 
The same applies for all of my fellow classmates… this past year was definitely not easy, but Challenges can be exciting. They force us to look for solutions, and to be creative. Most of us were looking forward to this experience full of energy, hope and inspiration, a lot of us even moving to a new country excited to explore everything the Netherlands and the HU had to offer.
 
What a drag it was to encounter COVID. None of us expected that there would be this additional challenge added to an already challenging but rewarding experience. In a year filled with uncertainty, social isolation and oftentimes disappointment, completing this program was not an easy task.
 
Nevertheless, here we are. We pulled together and overcame all of the expected and unexpected obstacles and we reached a milestone. Despite all the hurdles, we made it. And we learned a lot along the way
 
I would like to extend a special thank you to all the faculty and teaching staff for their dedication, hard work and patience. I would also like to thank all of the friends, family, boyfriends, girlfriends and roommates who listened to us go on and on about data bias, user testing and complain about bugs in our code … even though most of the time they had no idea what we were talking about.
 
Whether you are here in-person or virtually, you made it! You followed thru; and finished what you started, so congratulations are most definitely in order.
 
May the experiences we had together over this past year make us appreciate our friendship even more. I am honored to stand here and address you as graduates from the data-driven design masters program and I really hope that our paths will cross as we embark on the professional phase in our lives.

There is much talk about "deplatforming", the banning of individual users from social media platforms. We also must consider "deplatformization", a powerful dynamic where various participants make an effort to limit an entire platform's ability to operate. In this paper we distinguish "deplatforming" from "deplatformization" and describe how it affects governance in the platform ecosystem. Open access: https://lnkd.in/d-XEDX29

Join us next Wednesday, 29th of September at 10am for the online creativity seminar ‘The Role of Creativity in Human and Artificial Cognition’ by Dr. Rebecca Marrone

Description of the seminar: Creativity is a core 21st-century skill and is taught in education systems globally. Creativity is expected to separate us from machines, but is it? In isolation, machines can be more effective problem solvers than humans, and they can exhibit novelty. The challenge to being creative is exhibiting both novelty and effectiveness simultaneously. As AI is being implemented in classrooms around the world, a key question is proposed; what is the role of machines in human creativity? This seminar will unpack several studies that are currently being conducted in this space and will explore the role of creativity in the future.

If the birth of the Internet was mainly facilitated by US, UK and France, then the cradle of the #metaverse #元宇宙 is now surrounded by diversified forces, cultures and inevitably #narratives

In #digitalchina Minor I developed from #creativebusiness study, I introduced Metaverse briefly to the students and highlighted a few Chinese key players such as #tencent and #huawei

How to balance #technology and #humanity is a conversation we all need to participate, while listening, thinking and speaking critically, divergently and empathically.

Wij zijn op zoek naar een organisatie die een hackaton met ons wil organiseren voor onze studenten van de minor “Big Data for Smart Media and Business”.
Studenten gaan dan aan de slag met jouw vraagstuk en de data die jullie aanleveren. Het eindproduct na 2 dagen is een data-concept met een eerste prototype.

Uit onze ervaring blijkt dat opdrachtgevers de energie en inspiratie van de studenten waarderen. Na afloop hebben jullie diverse ideeën voor manieren om het meeste uit jullie data te halen, zoals inspiratie voor een data-dashboard.

Het doel van de Hackaton is om de studenten te laten ruiken aan de vraagstukken van de praktijk en ze voor te bereiden op een groter design project, waar ze eventueel ook een vervolg kunnen geven aan de hackaton.

We zoeken nog een opdrachtgever. Bij voorkeur een organisatie met een ruimte waar 15 tot 25 studenten ook fysiek met elkaar kunnen werken (evt verspreid over kleinere projectruimtes). Een digitale hackaton is echter ook een optie. De hackaton staat gepland op donderdag 28 en vrijdag 29 oktober.

Samenwerken, koppelen, bouwen, versnellen, initiëren en opleiden. Zo maar een paar onderwerpen die voorbij kwamen tijdens het netwerkoverleg met TechConnect , Utrecht Tech Community en WE-IT.

Vanaf deze week zoeken Viktor Bos, Remco Engels, Marijn Roelof en Marjolijn Zwetsloot elkaar periodiek op en bundelen zij de krachten vanuit Amsterdam, Den Haag, Rotterdam en Utrecht om nog sneller tot meer IT talent en digitaal vaardig human capital te komen in de verschillende regio’s.
 
Samen zorgen zij ervoor dat regionale initiatieven goed op elkaar aansluiten en afgestemd worden. De eerste sessie hierover vond plaats bij IT Campus Rotterdam. En niet alleen de taart smaakte naar meer!

Graduation Ceremony Master Clinical Psychology at Utrecht University, and a new job! Zo fijn dat de uitreiking live mogelijk was en dat ik mams en manlief mocht meenemen. Vorig jaar had ik de bachelor al gehaald, maar dit voelt meer als de afronding van 4 jaar hard werken, korte nachten, stress, vermoeidheid, met vooral heel veel voldoening! Over enkele weken start ik als basispsycholoog in de specialistische GGZ bij PsyQ (o.a. psychotrauma en persoonlijkheidsproblematiek). Heel blij mee.
Ik blijf parttime werken op de HU als communicatiedocent binnen de minor mindful communiceren. Deze week mijn eerste live lessen in 2 jaar gegeven. Het was te gek! Utrecht Science Park bruist weer met studenten.

The Covid-19 health crisis spawned massive media coverage on China while also providing global audiences with plenty of essential public health information. China is a key global player, both politically and economically. To explore the construction of China's image from administrative and economic perspectives, dr. Radhika Mittal and former ESHCC student Yun Xiao examined news articles on China and COVID-19 published in The New York Times between January and March 2020, encapsulating three initial phases of the unfolding outbreak.

The book chapter is available as part of an edited book that explores recent Covid-19 narratives, titled, COVID-19, Racism and Politicization: Media in the Midst of a Pandemic, published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing.

Marketers around the globe are missing out on valuable opportunities to tap into the engagement, influence and buying power of Chinese consumers. Brands with a more mature understanding of the Chinese mobile market, the country’s regulatory landscape and trends such as livestream e-commerce stand to capture a larger slice of the Chinese market. How will companies pivot to capture the opportunity brought about by the growing affluence of Chinese consumers?

When it comes to BigTech, the media narrative on China has got it wrong.

Because far from implementing a command and control, surveillance state, China is rapidly building a tech and trading economy for the 21st digital century.

The latest move is a new privacy and consumer protection law. This law, similar in many ways to GDPR in the European Union, will give Chinese citizens significant consumer protections.

But it goes further than consumer protection because there is a huge emphasis on national security. In other words "data": where is it and who controls it.

The new law requires that all data, including user data, broadly defined as "critical information" is to be stored in China.

This has big ramifications for non-Chinese tech firms operating in China because the new law prohibits foreign law enforcement agencies from accessing data of Chinese nationals without going through an onerous approvals process.

Take Apple. The most valuable company in the world has around a fifth of its business in China.

This is the latest action to curb the behaviour of BigTech and social media firms. (More about that here https://bit.ly/2VDPOUn)

This BigTech crackdown started last October after the Chinese gov got a kick up the backside when the enigmatic Jack Ma openly criticised China's financial services industry and the ruling party. This was quickly followed by a series of dramatic actions, including the monster anti-trust fine on Alibaba and the crackdown on Didi, China's version of Uber, following the ride-hailer's IPO on Wall Street.

For many commentators, they will see China's new privacy laws as yet further example of China's heavy-handed clampdown on Big Tech. (boo hiss)

When the reality is that this new law is all about giving further protection to Chinese citizens and their data, whilst also putting up barriers to stop foreign-owned firms from being used as a back door route for spying.

Do you agree?

Isn’t it ironic? Wereldberoemd expert op het gebied van eerlijkheid - Dan Ariely - wordt ervan verdacht valse onderzoeksgegevens te hebben gebruikt.

Het gaat om de beroemde eerlijkheidsstudie uit 2012. Een van de experimenten uit die studie zou hebben aangetoond dat wie vooraf, aan het begin van een document, een eerlijkheidsverklaring ondertekent eerlijker is over de kilometerstand van zijn of haar auto, dan wie die verklaring onderaan het document ondertekent.

Collega-wetenschappers analyseerden de gegevens achter de beroemde eerlijkheidsstudie en concluderen dat die ‘zonder enige twijfel’ vals zijn.

Het is niet de eerste keer dat er vraagtekens zijn bij onderzoek van Dan Ariely. Eerder claimde hij bijvoorbeeld dat mensen eerlijker zijn als ze aan de tien geboden denken, maar ook die resultaten konden niet worden gereproduceerd.

In past months LinkedIn got flooded with meaningless feedback questions "Which is better A or B?" coming from various "UX" designers. 🙃

In 99% of cases, these polls don't show the full context or complete design, they don't mention the problem they're solving or their target audience.

This kind of "research" (if we can call it like this) will give you nothing other than the false feeling of finding the best solution and conformity. In addition, an image of an amateur who has no idea how the user research should be done.

I'm so glad that Nick Groeneveld put together this post and hopefully more people will read it. 👍

"40% of hospital admissions are fully vaccinated” 

If that headline sounds familiar, it's because it's a favourite amongst mainstream media. Particularly on channels driving link clicks...

Whilst it may be a statement of fact, it completely hides the underlying truth, and the numbers that generate that headline figure are rarely, if ever, provided.

Here’s a good explanation as to why vaccine take-up influences the hospitalisation numbers, and what we are seeing is completely normal.

Do you think the media should be doing a better job to provide a fuller picture to it's viewers/readers?

Brave change leadership in academia

Disruption is finally reaching the Ivory Tower. Utrecht University provides a great example of how transformation can be triggered by changing a core institutional practice (impact factor steering). Their new approach is daring and will be deemed reckless by many. But it is also the essence of leadership in deep, adventurous organizational change that will eventually lead to new conceptions of what it means to be a successful (research) academic.

“It’s always frightening to go first, so having institutions that break ground ahead of you is helpful.”

This policy change is a potential first step to disrupting and re-inventing the entire current academic system that stems from the middle ages. More turmoil and shake-out is to be expected before new blueprints for effective 21 century academia will emerge from the dust.

Great times for institutional change watchers. Who dares to be that critical 'first follower'....?

Super excited about our (Julia Luteijn and my) research and art project, Yin-Gemis, in which we research women’s perspectives on working in the tech industry. We are eager to see how women in tech overcome obstacles, how they feel about policies like the women's quota, their (work and personal) environment, and how they originally became involved in the tech sector.

With this project, we want to draw attention to their experiences and stories by conducting multiple interviews with women who have IT/tech-related jobs. This allows us to research and visualize a reflection of the current industry and to bring attention to the gender gap and bias by presenting women’s viewpoints in a single AI-generated narrative. #womenintech

Curious about our project and do you have questions/remarks or do you know/are you a woman in Tech who might be interested in talking to us? Feel free to reach out :)

This week I got the very exciting news that the NWO (Dutch Research Council) has granted me a 'teacher grant' for the next five years. This would mean that I get to do my PhD research part-time next to my teachings at HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht (Hogeschool Utrecht). Hence, the purpose of my research is not only to contribute to the growing discourse of platform studies, but also to enhance my education at the Creative Business where I teach.

What is my research about? In a nutshell, I will investigate how big tech platforms (of companies such as Amazon, Google, and Facebook) shape users their subjectivity in contemporary surveillance cultures. By focusing on how users' attention is captured on these platforms, I plan to analyse what role platforms play in steering their subjectivity. I will do this by evaluating two things: how the blurring of truth and falsity on big tech platforms shapes users' subjective realities, while also examining how resistant practices by users on platforms (like DuckDuckGo) are helping users to gain more control over their subjectivity.

If the topic of my research interest you, and/or if you like to know more about it / have a conversation on the topic / celebrate this exciting news with me, feel free to reach out to me : )

GRADUATED!

Last week I graduated at Creative Business at the HU University of Applied Sciences with Honours. I want to thank Klaas Fleischmann for being an amazing supervisor throughout the entire graduation process, and Nicolle Lamerichs, PhD for all the encouragement and being an amazing support system throughout my Honours track!

So what's next?

I got accepted to Lund University in Sweden, where I will be studying the MSc International Marketing & Brand Management. At the same time, I will continue to work part-time as a marketing strategist for the client I wrote my thesis for, Cordial World Foundation, to help realise their role in Web 3.0.

As a Student Assistant at CB for 3 years, I got to know many students that I will have to say goodbye to. Lucky for me I am dragging one of them with me to Lund. You're not getting rid of me just yet AJ van Rossem!

Dennis Nguyen is curious about this
The missing plank in President Biden and EU plans is the fact today the single largest beneficiary of the BRI initiative is the EU, with a direct freight railway network to the EU from China.

Note Australia's PM Scott Morrison has expressed unbridled enthusiasm for the President Biden plan just like he did with President Trump's failed "Blue Dot" plan that was going to upstage the China BRI initiative, Trump's plan ended in tears.

This new BRI Goods Railway track cuts 5 to 7 weeks of current shipping times and is directly into over 200 major Chinese Cities.

The China/Europe Union has enabled the EU to take over a vast expansion of their produce, wine exports directly to over 200 cities in China from the EU, France is enjoying a massive increase in quality wine exports to China at the expense of Australia's winemakers past over $1bn per year wine trade exports.

Maybe if President Biden focuses on America's failing infrastructure, with over 40,000 bridges declared unsafe could be a good plan?

If you want the decision-makers to understand the ethical issues of facial recognition, you need to turn the table!

'The Flemish Scrollers' is software automatically tagging distracted Belgian politicians when they use their phone on the daily live streams. 

Every meeting of the Flemish government in Belgium is live-streamed on a YouTube channel.

When a Livestream starts the software is searching for phones and tries to identify a distracted politician. This is done with the help of AI and face recognition.

✔I have recently started the "40 days of AI",

Het lectoraat Digital Ethics doet onder andere onderzoek naar manieren waarop IT professionals meer aandacht kunnen geven aan de persoonlijke waarden van de directe en indirecte stakeholders van de digitale oplossingen die ze ontwerpen en implementeren. In het kader van dat onderzoek hebben we het instrument van de ‘ethical matrix’ ontwikkeld. Onlangs is tot onze vreugde een paper van Irene van der Spoel en mij over de impact van het gebruik van dit instrument op implementatie criteria voor online proctoring software gepubliceerd in de proceedings van de 34e editie van de Bled eConference (https://lnkd.in/dRiVuDP, rechtstreeks downloaden kan via https://lnkd.in/dQrHwWR). Wil je meer weten over de achtergrond van de ethical matrix, dan is ook het paper van Esther van der Stappen en mij over de ethical matrix in de proceedings van de 33e editie van de Bled eConference wellicht interessant https://lnkd.in/dcPPWA7 , rechtstreeks downloaden kan via: https://lnkd.in/dnx8jC9).

YES! Vorige maand vond de eerste editie van de online cursus 'Verantwoorde Datapraktijken' plaats. Het was een succes! Daarom doen we hem in oktober opnieuw.  🎉

👉 Inschrijving is nu geopend via:
https://lnkd.in/dhVaFts

Deze training voor professionals heeft:
- 2 interactieve, online bijeenkomsten in oktober;
- Een uitgebreide kennismaking met De Ethische Data Assistent (DEDA);
- Andere concrete handvatten om data ethiek in je organisatie toe te passen;
- Aansprekende praktijkvoorbeelden over dataprojecten: waarbij het goed én fout is gegaan op ethisch gebied;
- Kennisdeling met andere professionals.

Een greep uit de reacties op de vorige editie:
"Ik vond het erg interessant en leerzaam om de DEDA op deze manier te doorlopen. Ik ga hem zeker gebruiken in de toekomst bij de data-experimenten die we gaan opzetten."
 
"De bewustwording werd hierdoor getriggerd."

"Lekker concreet en praktisch."

Bots are rubbish!

Yesterday, Nicola Collister shared a Telegraph article that outlines a decline in service standards, and laid the blame on the rise of AI and bots in the service process.

Nicola is more measured than I am. So I'll just say what I think.

Bots are rubbish!

I believe that the optimal model involves Human Agents, being assisted by AI and Automation, supporting customers who need help.

I don’t think I’ve had an automated experience that has outperformed a person doing the same job, and I think that should be the bar from a CUSTOMER experience perspective.

When a bot does a slightly worse to much worse job than an agent, all the benefits are only with the brand that’s deflecting the contact.

(Oh, and just because you have 20 minute hold times to get through to a human on the phone doesn’t make a poor chat bot any better).

Do you agree with this? Or can you fight the corner of automated customer service?

I’ll link the original post in comments for reference

📢 I'm so happy that I've graduated from Master Data-driven Design at HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht (Hogeschool Utrecht). Tbh, it has been an intense journey. I'm thankful to my family, friends, lecturers and mentors during this learning process. I'm also happy that I challenged myself by not being in my comfort zone anymore.

So,

THE BIGGEST #TAKEAWAY is promising myself not to stay in the comfort zone again.

Back to the initial step of this journey is connected to #Gamification. The seed of this journey has started with Ercan Altuğ YILMAZ's gamification hackhathon in 2018 where I expanded my vision and network. Then meeting with Edward Bongers, who has been extremely motivating and helping me since 2019 then Erik Hekman who accepted me for the master program where my transformation has started.

Before and during the journey, I was always supported by my brother İlker Bozkurt and my friend Duygu Türkan İnam. 😇😇

I also got additional support from adplist.org and Ladies that UX Amsterdam for learning in depth design thinking approach. 💪

Thank you for everything #myalllecturers and #myallmentors

Wish me luck for the job hunting process! :) 🍀

Dennis Nguyen liked Jimmy Hosang’s comment on this
Bots are to Blame - I read this article (see link at the bottom of this post) in the Telegraph by Sir John Timpson - Chairman of the High Street retailer Timpson about the decline in Customer Services in the UK with great interest.

John compares experience at the start of Covid where he felt there was an improvement in service with people and an overwhelming feeling of goodwill, to one now where it is he talks about poor communication and people being 'hung out to dry' by companies and having no chance to speak to a person.

Over the last few weeks, I have seen a lot of posts from connections on linked in sharing their woes of not being able to get through to companies and/or when they do that the experience leaves a lot to be desired - tales of deceased relatives and when trying to sort accounts out, having to go through a horrendous process with no emotion or empathy what so ever.

It is forecasted that by ONS that 55%+ of Service Jobs could be at risk from automation or AI - do we believe this statistic ??

I recently had a conversation with an Exec of a large UK retailer who commented that experiences with 'Bots' wasn't great yet there is a desire to reduce the costs of service.

I also chaired an event, where a very large UK Utility retailer talked about the changes they have made prior to and also during Covid on designing the right self help, communications, use of bots for both customer and colleague help - which has resulted in a step change in their NPS.

So the BIG QUESTION - Do you believe that Bots are the Blame?
Or are there other factors at play?
😱 Poorly designed experiences that are disjointed?
⚖️ Investment not being made in designing and delivering the right experiences?
🛠 Failures in other parts of the business (customer journey) that are not being exposed or managed?
💵 Execs that don't really care about the experience?
😨 Technology not fit for purpose?

Having been in the Service Sector for over 25 years, I am sad to see the current state of affairs and surely Bots are not the root of this issue - keen to get your views - post your comments in the comments.

#TrainCreativity Join our next online seminar on Monday, 28 June at 13.00!
Creative thinking has been widely recognized as a “must-have” professional and life skill that needs to be embraced and enhanced. But, how can we best train creativity?
 
Join our next online seminar on 28 June (Monday) at 13:00 – 14:00 (CET time) in which Dr.
Xiaojing Gu will share her research on examining the effectiveness of four cognitive-based creativity training techniques! Join us here (Zoom link): https://lnkd.in/es6b4Ne
 
Abstract of the talk: 
While earlier research has provided support for the effectiveness of creativity training in enhancing creativity, the focus is mainly on examining comprehensive training programs that are comprised of various training techniques rather than focusing on any specific techniques. It remains unclear whether the combined effects of techniques led to the improvement or whether one technique within the package was sufficient for the training success. Also, questions like which training technique is more beneficial for generating original ideas, and which training technique enhances cognitive flexibility remain unanswered. In a previous study, we made an attempt to fill in these research gaps by examining the effectiveness of four cognitive-based creativity training techniques (SCAMPER, random connection, schema violation, and simple ideation). In this seminar, I will talk about whether and how these training techniques involving different cognitive processes that underlie creativity differ in the type of creative performance they enhance.

Last week, on our TMAC Talks networking event, I was asked the question about adjusting data biases when it comes to ethnicity.

I spoke briefly about my own journey on this subject, and my realisation that inequality of outcome is rarely based on single attributes.

However, one really good book about data bias and bad outcomes is ‘Invisible Women’ by Caroline Criado Perez.

I stumbled upon the book, as the person on the train next to me was reading it, and it’s a good appraisal over how over-representation of men in studies has led to medicines, safety equipment and more ill-suited and even damaging to 50% of the population.

Tomorrow at 12.15, I am going to defend my dissertation "Divergent thinking in young children"!

Writing articles in English, collecting and analyzing data in Dutch, and of course, thinking often in Chinese and sometimes talk to families in Min (闽南语)...The experience of doing a PhD in the Netherlands has been valuable but sometimes also challenging, challenging in a sense that you easily forget there is a bigger world beside the PhD. Thus, having local and/or outside-of-work contact with people is really important to keep a healthy mind.

Yet, it's not always easy for international, particularly under-funded, PhD's to build up such a local social network on their own. Therefore, together with my two paranymphy's Marije Stolte and Spark van Beurden, we want to start an initiative that can actively facilitate newly-arrived, especially under-funded, international PhD’s to build up their local social network, as preventive measures to promote the wellbeing of these PhD’s during their trajectories. #PhDandMentalDistress

If you share our concerns of international PhD’s wellbeing and our initiative of helping reducing their social-isolating experience, please consider to contribute to our seed-money for this initiative via this link: https://gofund.me/95bd4f4c . We really appreciate your contribution!

Robotics in China are now providing new hope. 
 
It’s so heart-warming to see this level of progress in technology. 
 
And even more, knowing people who were born paralysed may now have the chance to walk. 
 
Exo skeletons were once seen as impossible – sci-fi, hyper futuristic technology for the military in movies. 
 
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the positive use of robotics here. 
 
And here is a great example of robots doing just that. 
 
Do you know more examples of tech for good?

Ikigai - a Japanese concept referring to having a direction or purpose in life

Where abouts on the Ikigai Venn do you currently sit? And would you like to be closer to the centre?

To quote Chris Myers, writing in Forbes

To discover your Ikigai, you must first find what you’re most passionate about. Then, you find the medium through which you can express that passion.

Steve Jobs is a fantastic example of this idea. It’s easy to think of Jobs as a titan of technology, but that would be inaccurate. Jobs was a lover of fine craftsmanship, first and foremost.

Whether it was a matter of collecting handmade Japanese tea cups or obsessing over design details of various products, he wrapped himself in his passion for finely made items.

Apple and Pixar were merely his chosen mediums of expression.

**Monthly lunch seminar series on “Digital matters”**

Title: Seeing History. Using Computer Vision to Study Historical Images. 
Date and time: Friday June 4th, 2021. 13:30-14:30

Speaker: Melvin Wevers is an Assistant Professor in Digital History at the University of Amsterdam. 

Abstract: In recent years, the use of the term AI in and outside of academia has exploded. Developments in neural network architectures have made it easier to train artificial intelligence models to recognize objects in images, also known as Computer Vision, with higher accuracy and precision. These models have led to innovations in self-driving cars as well as implementations that benefit surveillance practices. At the same time, these developments have found their way into humanities and social science research. Yet, as humanists and social scientists started to use these technologies, they soon pointed out that they are by no means neutral or objective. Computer Vision models were prone to have cultural and historical biases encoded into them. Was this caused by the data used to train them, an algorithmic flaw, or by the way they were used? Others have pointed out that the complexity of culture cannot be reduced to simple ontologies of objects detached from their context. 

In this talk, I will briefly discuss what neural networks are and how they are trained, how I have used them for historical research, their shortcomings, and how they could be improved to better serve historical research.

Coen van de Ven en Rosa van Gool van De Groene Amsterdammer lieten samen met de Utrecht Data School voor het eerst zien hoe Instagram een vehikel voor complotdenken kan zijn. Complotdenkers van de oude stempel blijken online samen te smelten met hippe influencers met een miljoenenbereik. Hoe hebben zij dit onderzoek aangepakt? Hoe kun je Instagram analyseren hoe complottheorieën zich verspreiden? Hoe breng je netwerken in kaart en hoe visualiseer je dat?

In aanloop naar de Loepuitreiking op 11 juni 2021 gaat de VVOJ genomineerde producties uitlichten. Dit gaan we doen door online VVOJ-cafés. De makers worden door Sanne Terlingen en Evert De Vos geïnterviewd over hun onderzoek en het publiek kan lui meeluisteren of actief vragen stellen.

I am excited to announce that on June 4th (10:30) I will defend my PhD thesis titled “Dreaming with data: assembling responsible knowledge practices in data-driven healthcare”.
 
Big data and machine learning technology often come with dreams to fundamentally change knowledge practices in healthcare for the better. The hope is that based on big data and machine learning, we can make better predictions, smarter decisions and develop personalized interventions. In my dissertation, I studied what happens when such dreams become drivers for concrete initiatives in healthcare. I used a combination of qualitative research methods to shed light on the question: how do actors construct responsible knowledge practices in data-driven healthcare?
 
I would like to thank Antoinette de Bont and Rik Wehrens for their support and supervision! And all the other 162 people that played a crucial role in creating this dissertation. Your considerable influence is visualized on the cover by the talented Suze Swarte.
 
If you like to receive the PDF or are interested in watching the defense online, don't hesitate to send me a message or e-mail marthe.stevens@ru.nl!

We discussed all things new media - from creative machines, to 'white cube' spaces, the struggles of storing digital artwork, and the viewer as a participant. It was so lovely meeting everyone (Soyun, Esra Özkan, Olof van Winden, Kaan Yazıcı & Sofia Vieira) and learning from their perspectives. And thankfully I had a few opinions to add like the one in this snippet 😊

Let's face it, the urgent needs to attract/engage Chinese tourists and covid pandemic crisis certainly helped to accelerate the digitalisation of European museums and galleries.

But to be truly future-proof, European #glam (galleries, libraries, achieves and museums) needs to take the driver's seat of #innovation and #creativebusiness

As the great Leonardo da Vinci said: "To develop a complete mind, study the science of art; study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else. "

For my graduation from the Master Data-Driven Design I am creating a social matching system that aims to help lonely young adults form social connections. For this social matching system I need user profiles that contain people’s personality traits and interests etc. Since this is personal data, there are not many existing data sets that I can use or data that I am allowed to collect. That is why I collect my own data through a survey. This data will serve as data to more validly test the performance and quality of my matching system (recommendation system). 

Are you between 16-24? Then I would like to ask you to fill in my survey. It would be very helpful! 😄

I’ll admit it. Being off WhatsApp isn’t easy in 2021. I can imagine many of you are wondering how it’s even possible - especially given the fact that so many have experienced the entirity of their human interaction being mediated through a pane of handheld glass since the start of this decade. But for those of you who are curious as to whether it’s possible to live a fully functioning life off WhatsApp - I can assure you it is indeed - and there are some important reasons why it even might be a good idea.

Hello everyone! Asking for your help with my MA supervisee research! if you are a Nintendo fan (or just really like Nintendo in general) and is willing to be interviewed for his very cool research project, please contact him!
As some of you already know, I am currently rounding up my master's studies in Media and Business at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Before graduating, however, I am required to conduct a thesis study about a topic of my choice. Therefore, I am reaching out to my contacts in search of interview participants for my research.

In my thesis I am particularly interested in understanding how nostalgia manifests in the identities of Nintendo fans. I picked Nintendo as the specific case in my thesis as in my opinion it is a great example of brands that are surrounded by nostalgic elements, which in return impact the culture and image of the brand and the communities based around it. Additionally, Nintendo is simply a fascinating example to take in a branding perspective and I believe that it has a designated place in everyone's heart who has had some experience with the company in the past.

If you, or someone you know, would be interested in sharing your experiences with Nintendo (and related products/franchises) and the fandom surrounding it, then feel free to send me a message here on LinkedIn or via my school email at 449271bv@eur.nl. The interview would range between 45-60 minutes and would be held in an online environment of the participant's choice.

I hope to talk to you soon! 🍄

This May 26, Facebook's annual shareholder meeting will vote on a proposal for an independent board chair (hint: not the current CEO). However, given Facebook's dual-class share structure, this is not expected to pass. What influence, if any, can class A shareholders exert to improve Facebook's corporate governance and digital inclusion performance? Are there any class B shareholders willing to step up?

Fascinerende studie stelt dat - alhoewel minder vaak beter is - we default de neiging hebben iets toe te voegen in plaats van weg te halen. Dit kan - zo stellen de auteurs - een van de redenen zijn waarom we moeite hebben schadelijke effecten op onze aarde te verminderen (en ook waarom we overbelaste schema's hebben en veel te veel institutionele administratieve rompslomp).

Dus ook al weten we dat toevoegen niet per se beter is, we vinden het lastig om iets te verbeteren door te verminderen. Dat het adagio ‘the bigger the better’ vrij hardnekkig is zien we op veel terreinen terug; denk bijvoorbeeld aan extra wegen om files op te lossen, nog meer regels om de wereld veiliger te maken en overvolle supermarkten om klanten lekker veel keuze te geven.

Wanneer het ons lukt de neiging tot toevoegen te onderdrukken en vaker de (soms superieure) optie ‘minder’ te overwegen, creëren we mogelijk kansen om ons leven meer voldoening te geven, instellingen effectiever te laten functioneren en onze aarde leefbaarder te maken. ✅

New Tech Monitor analysis reveals that pharmaceutical companies lead on AI governance thanks to robust ethics processes, while energy and (worryingly) tech providers lag behind. While there is increasing awareness of the importance of AI ethics, the approach at enterprise level still tends to be high level, says Nigel Crook, professor of AI and robotics at Oxford Brookes University.

“[Companies] will talk about things like transparency of AI and eliminating bias without really understanding how difficult both of those things can be,” he says. “Having a policy that says you will do it is one thing. But having the competence to understand how to develop systems and deploy them within your organisation, so that they are truly transparent and unfair bias is minimised, is actually really hard.”

They strive to be sharp and critical in words and deeds;
When time comes for decision and action, they settle for mediocrity.

We live in a digital world fueled by data. In my next article of the Go Digital series, we explore my data, your data and our data as it is captured, exchanged, traded for products and services, and monetised by digital service providers.
The accessibility to tools crafted from next-generation #digital technologies, is enabling more organisations to gain #insights into #data and extract #value for their business.

However, when I decide to interact with a service provider digitally, I consciously give permission for my personal data to be used to provide me with the services I expect in a #fair, #ethical, #lawful, #secure, #confidential, #transparent, and #accurate manner. I also trust the service provider to be #accountable for the protection and privacy of my personal data. I understand the need for them to be able to use my personal data to provide me with exceptional #service and value, in return for my #trust.

I will also be sharing some of my thoughts on this at next week's BrightTALK AI in FinTech event.

what happened?
Yesterday As usual I was jogging around our Loving society Riedberg(a 13 years young multi-cultural district in Frankfurt, peaceful from day1)
all of sudden I was stopped from a shock by a bold racist graffiti on the bridge in our park

“Chinese go home”😳😳
I shared immediately my deep concerns with German friends, hour later I was called by a Friend from CDU local advisory board with the message:his board alerts the local police station and park authority, investigation is started and they got approval to cover the racism temporarily

Another Hour later Madam Lang and Mr Mueller covered the racist graffiti 🙏🏼 they are heros!
Today The local Magazin main-Riedberg published the statement from local political parties and condem all kinds of racism!
From reporting until fixing only hours in between! a clear message as stated at beginning!

I salute all people for fighting against racism!
Also Appeal to all Chinese fellows:
be rational while protecting own right no matter where🙏🏼

Introducing: Celina Breitenborn!

I am 23 years old and I come from Germany. I first fell in love with Utrecht about 5 years ago while visiting an Open Day at the Hogeschool Utrecht. I moved here in the summer of 2016 and started my Bachelor Program "Creative Business". When graduating with a Bachelor of Arts last summer, I did not need to look far for a suitable Master Program. The Data-Driven Design Master is a great study to expand my knowledge about digital transformation and gain new skills like programming in Python.

While I would choose this Master again any day, like in any other study, there is always room for improvement. That's why I decided to become a student member of the Study Program Committee. Together we gather student's feedback on the courses and try to enhance them however possible.

"In combining their cryptocurrency-related patents, COPA members create a patent library, designed to directly combat offensive use of patents which stifle innovation and industry growth."

"As a member of the alliance, #Lisk will make a pledge to never use their crypto patents against anyone, except for defensive purposes, making these patents free for all to use."

Today I had the pleasure to appear on a panel at the AI & Big Data Expo World Series.

Expertly moderated by David Savage, we fielded questions about getting the most from your #data.

Some of the key takeaways:

1. General intelligence doesn’t exist, and we still need to promote creativity and #ProblemSolving through humans

2. Create a vision for your data strategy, but deploy against it iteratively to gain value incrementally, rather than make a Big Bang.

3. Culture is as important as the technology. Landing change is often harder than creating the solution, and getting buy in from stakeholders and those impacted by your #transformation is key to making your changes stick.

I had a great time sharing the stage with:

Jay Limburn - IBM
Richard Benjamins - Telefonica
Dr. Armin Müller - Lidl International

Maandag 8 maart vindt de launch plaats van de AI-hub Midden-Nederland. Met Thomas Dohmen mag ik dan meer vertellen over het Media & AI-lab. Samen met creatieve industrie, overheden, uitvoeringsorganisaties en andere kennisinstellingen gaan we werk maken van het ontwikkelen van nieuwe kennis en innovaties maar ook professionalisering in relatie tot mediatechnologie en AI.

Focus ligt op de media- en cultuursector. Sector die een unieke en data-rijke proeftuin is. En die ook voor andere sectoren relevante en toepasbare kennis en innovaties oplevert. Maar ook een sector waar grote ontwikkelbehoeften bestaan om d.m.v. ethics by design recht te doen aan de belangen van burgers en een open, inclusieve en democratische samenleving.

Misschien tot maandag!

IT'S A WRAP! 🎬 After three incredible days full of virtual networking, knowledge exchange, and business opportunities #Chocoa2021 comes to an end. I am incredibly proud to have taken part in organizing this event. I gained experience in a wide range of responsibilities such as #marketing #communications, customer & partner relationship management, #sales, social media management, and co-hosting the event in our #digital lobby. All of which will prove valuable in the future as a #freelance #creative.

Together with our small team, we worked day-in and out to deliver the feel of a real-life event experience despite the ongoing pandemic, and damn did we deliver. Nearly 600 #chocolate and #cocoa professionals participated in our #virtual #event. This was beyond anything we could have envisioned. With our platform we truly connected the industry and are a few steps closer to a world of #sustainable cocoa production.

I want to thank all participants, partners, and of course our incredible team; Jack Steijn, Caroline Lubbers, Mariana De La Rosa, Amanda Francisco, Margo Potma, and Colin Ulbert. Without each and every one of you, Chocoa wouldn’t have been such a success!

Master Thesis! This month I started with my thesis for Master Communication Science at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Topic? Corporate Social Responsibility!

During my thesis I will research how utilizing CSR in apology strategies after a reputational crisis, can reduce anger and negative word-of-mouth from stakeholders. Relevant? Very! Not much research is done on CSR and apology strategy for post-crisis, while these two strategies compliment each other in terms of effects.

Very excited for the results!

Niet veel onderzoek is gedaan naar MVO en verontschuldigingen voor communicatie na een reputatie crisis, terwijl deze strategieën elkaar goed aanvullen.

Ben heel benieuwd wat er uit komt!

We should look at prosperity in a broader sense than purely the gross domestic product. Her Majesty Queen Máxima spoke with researchers about this topic during a working visit, last Tuesday.

One of the discussed topics was the influence of the corona crisis on prosperity. Bas van Bavel drew parallels with the global financial crisis of 2008, when the one-dimensional focus on the economy caused the broad prosperity of large groups to drop for a long time.

Utrecht University put the topic of 'broad prosperity' on the agenda and has been researching it since 2014. It is now on the agenda of the government (SCP, CPB and PBL) and the business community (VNO-NCW, MKB-Nederland).

These last two weeks have taught me a lot. I pride myself on getting high grades within my study career of Creative Business and have worked hard to achieve them (most of the time). However, two weeks ago, I got the notice I failed my plan of action; the one course I had to pass before I could start my graduation project. And I failed hard.

What followed were days of disappointment and insecurity. How could it be possible that I failed this?

But luckily, these days were also filled with support, insights and some amazing people. I can't thank my coach Joanna Pisarczyk enough for all the pep-talks and extra guidance. Alongside her, great CB students who were able to provide me feedback on my plan of action and supported me throughout my ups- and downs, Martin Vos, Elida Rotaru, Lola Mesterom, Kim Jansen and Camila Yataco.

This fail has shown me that there's actually a lot of strength in asking for feedback. It helps me get an outside perspective and has made my report much better than if I would have done it alone.

I've just received the grade for my resit today and I'm excited to say that I can finally start my graduation project about data literacy for Dennis Nguyen and join my fellow team-members.

Thank you to everyone who helped me out, I greatly appreciate it!

This morning I had a wonderful opportunity to give a guest lecture to 50 students of the Master Data Driven Design of Utrecht University of Applied Sciences. The topic was how to turn their bright ideas into brilliant solutions. I can’t imagine how hard it is to do a study in this challenging time. During my study period I learned so much from my fellow-students and without them it would be more difficult to finish my studies.

What is the ethnic diversity & gender distribution in The Museum of Modern Art collection, and how is it different between contemporary vs new media art departments? 🌍

Being asked to explore any topic we cared about in my Data Science class, and stumbling upon this official MoMa dataset outlining 138.185 artworks from their collection, my decision was quickly made.

The resulting insights were interesting and perhaps useful for further research so I decided to share them (along with cute graphs) and a bit of the process with you in my latest Medium post published! 📊

Quick #s:
• Male artists comprise 85% of the contemporary art collection, opposed to 72% in new media
• Of the 11 works in the 131.000 item collection by non-binary artists, 9 of those are in the new media department
• For each 100 works of art acquired, contemporary buys from 3-4 nationalities while new media buys from 22 - that's 6x as much

It's also my first Python project, building on Plotly, Dash, and lots of pre-processing on Pandas. Very excited about my newly acquired data skills and the insights and grade (10/10) they got me ✨ full story on Towards Data Science > https://lnkd.in/dbxfvcr

"We are human, sometimes we are scared, feel despair or discouraged. But for me personally, I would not know what else to do, I cannot not do something about the things that are happening around me."

Profound #thanks to and #respect for Meltem Aslan, Nejat Taştan and Yasemin Öz who joined us last week to share their personal stories defending #humanrights in #Turkey and to celebrate the launch of the virtual "Stories That Need to be Heard" exhibition.

"How should newsrooms approach covering daily agenda? What angles work and why? "

This piece investigates using ML and AI to predict and steer content commissioning in a way that most resonates with audiences.

The primary purpose is to satisfy a specific set of user needs – and those go well beyond just a need to be updated.

Yesterday was "Ugly Christmas Sweater Day" 🎅 at #Channable and, like every year, we are raising money for a good cause. 💶 Channable will donate 1000 Euros to the Masanga Hospital Sierra Leone where our former colleague Claire has been volunteering her services for over a year. 🎊🥂🎁

With Channable's contribution, the Masanga Team can improve their infection prevention equipment within the hospital. Due to COVID, the rural location, and little government help, supplies like soap, masks, gloves, gauze, and protective equipment are critically low. It’s not uncommon for operations to be canceled due to (nationwide) lack of gauze and the on-going search for the next pair of examination gloves is relentless.

The collected money will serve to buy supplies to protect the hospital's staff and patients from HIV, TB, Lassa, and many other infections. The donations will also go toward medication, e.g. to cure children with severe Malaria and enable surgeries like cesarean sections to take place.

If you would like to donate please take a look at the link in the comments 🤗

Happy Ugly Christmas Sweater Day everyone and thanks for your amazing pictures, support, and donations! 💪

Delighted to see Richard Horton and his brilliant book "The Covid-19 Catastrophe: What’s Gone Wrong and How to Stop It Happening Again" on The Guardian's list of writers who have made sense of Covid.

Data bias is a complex challenge in the digital society - but how can we actually spot it? For our mission at the research group Human Experience & Media Design (HEMD) we asked a few people about their thoughts: https://lnkd.in/di7Qhhz #society #research #ai #data #people

Vijf jaar geleden werd ik geïnterviewd als eerste Syrische student aan de HU. Toen woonde ik nog in Friesland en moest ik elke dag vijf uur reizen om naar school te gaan. Ik had een doel om mijn studie af te ronden en een goede toekomst op te bouwen in Nederland. Ik wilde bewijzen dat ik geen gelukzoeker ben en dat ik een positieve bijdrage wil leveren aan de maatschappij.

De grootste uitdaging was dat ik op mijn studie en toekomst wilde concentreren, terwijl elke dag bombardementen vielen op het gebied waar mijn familie verbleven. Elke dag maakte ik me zorgen of ik mijn familie nog een keer zou kunnen zien. Ik heb veel dingen meegemaakt en geleerd in de afgelopen jaren en met vallen en opstaan heb ik mijn doelen bereikt.

Nu, vijf jaar later kan ik zeggen dat ik er trots op ben dat ik mijn HBO bachelor heb afgerond en een leuke bijbaan heb waar ik elke dag nieuwe dingen leer. Momenteel ben ik bezig met de master Data Driven Business aan de HU en ik heb nog veel dromen die ik nog waar wil maken.

Ik ben heel erg dankbaar dat ik hier mocht studeren en mijn toekomst opbouwen.

Bedankt Nederland!

Extra focus on local news... well, for an immigrant like myself, I have a mixture of feelings. I have lived in the Netherlands for 20 years, which means, my adult years spent in Europe are longer than in my homeland China. I follow local news intensely, but I just can't disconnect myself from international affairs and transnational issues. #china #europe

This year we see a major shift towards #inwardfocus everywhere in the world. #internationaljournalism is willingly or unwillingly losing neutrality and objectivity.

One of my favorite Dutch news websites #thecorrespondent will stop publishing. This is what they wrote to their subscribers -
“Unfortunately, we were unable to demonstrate the value of The Correspondent’s journalism to a significant enough number of members. With the Covid-19 pandemic dominating headlines non-stop for much of the year, it proved very difficult to offer "unbreaking news" to members in over 140 countries. People want to know from their media source: "Is my kid’s school going to be closed tomorrow and when will I be eligible for a vaccination?" While essential, this is not the kind of journalism we were set up to do. We were focused instead on transnational issues."

We need to look inward but also outward; we need mirrors and windows!

M: “I want you to find GoldenEye, find out who took it, what they plan to do with it, and stop it.”

Me: “Well, firstly, I’m going to have to speak to my union rep as this isn’t REALLY in my job description.”

At The Modular Analytics Company we believe that data empowers teams and that teams protect customer value.

Coaches play an enormous role in this value chain but don't get the attention they deserve. TMAC is changing that.

We are delighted to announce our Accelerated Coaching platform - use AI to empower your coaches and make every agent a top performer.

TMAC's AI consolidates the most important information so feedback becomes relevant, automated and strategic.

Agents can continue to protect customer value and coaches and spend more time coaching.
